What telepathic abilities has she really shown beyond showing visions? We've yet to see her read someone's mind, control them (I guess you can argue she did that to the team to some extent), or just shut someone's mind down completely ala Professor X.

She can try and get in Hulk's head but unless she can shut him down it's only going to piss him off more until he gets close enough to rag doll her like he did Loki. Unfortunately for her, she's nowhere near as durable as he is.

Realistically, he wouldn't even need to get near her. He could probably just launch cars or other heavy objects at her from a distance.

Heh. Yeah this is pretty nerdy. This is the guy you're talking to, however.

So far, she can't read minds (not that that would help her against Banner), but she's shown the ability to sense the emotions and thoughts/doubts inside people and she can reveal to them visions that pretty much render them useless. Thor is a goddamn tank and he was useless when she struck him. We've also seen her tap into the power of an infinity stone -- hard to see, however, if that means she could tap into the power of Hulk's gamma radiation -- I think that'd be a leap of logic.

And keep in mind, all of her telepathic abilities took place in Avengers 2. She's still struggling with her powers in Cap 3. It's reasonable to assume that she's getting stronger across the board.

I think she could probably show Hulk a vision that would pretty much render him useless for a while (or longer). It's possible she could develop the ability to put him to sleep or calm him down. Maybe.

If we're just talking physicals, though, I think she can hold him off, and even negate him enough so that some creative solutions (like Natasha's "lullaby") could take place, a majority of the time.
